i have a magic world

Chapter 122 Advancement to the Silver Rank, The Sinful Courtyard, The Covenant of the Blue Sage 【Request Ⅰ】

In the quiet bedroom on the second floor.

Two sisters, Catwoman, Nick and Dora, are sitting cross-legged on the periphery, drawing magic power from the vortex to temper themselves.

The amount they absorb can only be regarded as a "trickle" compared to the magic vortex induced by the magic seed.

The formation constructed by three [intermediate demon seeds] is continuing to function.

At the core is Chen Xuan.

His absorption is very large, as if a "spill outlet" has been opened in the vortex.

At this moment, the pure white magic essence in his body is rapidly compressing and transforming into light green.

The body is also strengthened during tempering.

The bones, blood, organs, skin, and muscles all felt numb and itchy.

This is a sign that Mosu cultivation is about to enter the silver level.

When Rebecca and others finished a round of training, Chen Xuan was still continuing.

The staying power shocked the two Dora sisters.

Catgirl and Nick are relatively calm.

"Shh, let's go."

"Don't disturb Master's cultivation!"

"Yuclan, Beria, you can go to the first floor to practice rifles."

The caring Rebecca took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the little housekeeper.

Greeted everyone to leave Chen Xuan's bedroom.

Dora Yucca and Dora Beria rushed into the temporary shooting range with an M16A1 rifle in their arms.

The little cat girl and her brother came to the yard.

After Rebecca replaced the second-order magic dagger, the original first-order rune dagger belonged to Little Nick.

The siblings held a dagger each and entered the state of sparring.

……

As time goes by, the dark blue sun hides at the end of the sky.

Three rounds of the moon lifted off one after another.

The beautiful Naloa night sky can make all intelligent races calm down involuntarily.

But the monster will become more and more manic instead.

In the quiet bedroom, the steaming Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

There seemed to be an arc flashing in the bright eyes.

He could feel a surging force all over his body.

The pure white magic essence in the body has been converted, and all of it has been condensed and metamorphosed into a higher-level light green magic essence.

The body has also gone through the preliminary tempering during the promotion, and officially has a silver-level physique!
By the standards that Rebecca has said before.

Silver level can lift about 15 times to 35 times the weight of its own body weight.

This standard applies to multiple ethnicities, including those who are big.

The larger and heavier the ethnic group, the stronger the strength they can exert.

Relative strength based on body weight has become a common indicator for all major ethnic groups.

Moreover, with the continuous refinement and improvement of physique, Chen Xuan's body density is also increasing under the premise of the same body shape, so his weight is becoming more and more "unscientific".

Chen Xuan, who is currently 181 centimeters tall, has changed his weight from 72 kilograms to 104 kilograms now.

The key is that his body is still the same, maintaining a well-proportioned but not strong state.

Originally, when he was at the bronze level, his weight suddenly increased by more than ten kilograms, and now this value has further increased.

The extra 60 kilograms of meat is not a small amount.

If you think about buying [-] catties of pork in the market, you will know what it is.

This kind of weight change in a short period of time is nothing, but if the gap between body shape and weight is further widened, it will definitely bring some troubles to his normal life.

Maybe one day in the future, even if Chen Xuan enters the elevator alone, the load-bearing alarm will be triggered.

But in another way of thinking, weight gain is always better than body size growth.

Increased body density brings with it a series of changes.

He poked his skin lightly, and it felt like he was poking a piece of rawhide.

Muscles also become extremely hard after being congested.

Even the internal organs have been strengthened, and his cardiopulmonary function, digestion ability, and hematopoietic function have all improved.

The corresponding improvement affects almost all aspects, such as jumping, running, endurance, body defense ability, cell resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, self-healing ability and so on.

Even the "hardware" with the five senses has also been upgraded.

If we say that the super sense brought by spiritual meditation belongs to the "software" improvement.

Then body tempering is undoubtedly a real hardware upgrade, and the combination of the two is the strongest configuration!
"Cool!"

Chen Xuan clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths, feeling extremely refreshed.

It's just that he was sweating profusely, making him eager to wash up.

Originally, he estimated that it would take two rounds of practice to break through the peak bronze level and officially enter the silver level.

But the gain effect of the three [intermediate demon seeds] after forming a formation is beyond imagination.

This allowed him to break through to the silver level in one fell swoop.

At this time, it had just entered the moonlit night outside.

Chen Xuan estimated the time and meditated on the water clock for another time, recovering from mental exhaustion.

Afterwards, he returned to Blue Star's nest and took a comfortable hot bath before returning to Naroya in good spirits.

Without disturbing the two sisters Dora who were catching up on sleep, Chen Xuan went to the second circle alone.

According to the address left by Franco Baji, the small courtyard where Sorel lived was found.

It didn't take much effort to turn it in.

Sorel is dead, that guy usually lives alone, at most he brings girls back from the tavern or the women's branch to spend the night, someone Chen can come here with confidence and boldness to take away his private possessions.

Turn into the courtyard, take out the crowbar and violently break open the black iron lock hanging on the wooden door.

Chen Xuan easily entered the house, and with the help of [Insight], he quickly found the exact place where Sorel hid the money.

Taking out the shovel he had prepared in advance, he dug out a boxy cash box.

After opening it, there were dark gold coins and Mithril coins inside.

Many coins were still stained with brown blood.

After a little rummaging, Chen Xuan saw several second- and third-order elemental magic gems on the bottom floor.

Not caring about counting carefully, he first put the cash box into the storage compartment in its entirety.

After fusing two rose key fragments.

His storage compartments have changed from two to four, and the total storage volume has reached 108 cubic meters.

If the four storage compartments are spliced ​​together, it will become a space with a length and width of six meters and a height of three meters. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can even hold an SUV car.

After putting away the cash box, Chen Xuan immediately searched the other rooms as well.

They found two sets of captain's standard armor issued by the garrison, two magic horns and an identity card made of black iron.

Regardless of whether these things are useful or not, the correct solution is to pack them up and take them away first!

Through [Insight], he carefully observed every corner.

A basement was found in the back room.

Strictly speaking, it was an underground prison with all kinds of instruments of torture.

The stone walls and ground were covered with dark blood stains.

The rack was holding the stinking halfling corpse.

Judging from his attire, this halfling was most likely a businessman.

In addition, Chen Xuan also discovered a place called [Burial Pit] in the courtyard.

How could he know what was there without digging?
But before leaving, he opened both the underground cell and the [Burial Pit].

In the large pit in the courtyard, a large number of scattered bones are wrapped in the compacted soil, which makes one's scalp tingle at first glance.

Chen Xuan didn't dig it thoroughly. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least dozens of corpses there. Judging from the thickness of the bones, there are people from all ethnic groups. They should all be victims of Sorrell Moran's years of being a "black policeman". .

After finishing the work, Chen Xuan did not stay, and quickly left from the backyard.

The spiritual power meditation that reached the second level has become his best "radar".

As long as the disappearance of Sorel is exposed, it won't take long for someone to come to his yard to check.

Without disturbing anyone, Chen Xuan wore a hood and came to the White Rose Caravan after a simple disguise.

Before he could go in, he was stopped by the caravan guards.

Since the funds were relatively abundant, Ophelia hired contract guards for the caravan station regardless of the cost.

In addition to the silver-level team she hired before, she hired a team of adventurers led by a silver-level ranger.

With Magic Tears as an equivalent reward, these silver-level masters are very willing to accept the commission.

Leaving aside other aspects, if someone dared to break into the garrison, he would be hunted down.

There are not many silver-level powerhouses in the city, and they can be regarded as iconic existences.

The small misunderstanding was quickly resolved, and Ophelia was practicing in the resident.

On Sunday, she finished the delivery of the main products for the day.

Not long ago, she successfully sold a box of chicken essence.

The main products are still magic tears and aluminum tableware.

The two masters and servants gathered in the central tent, where a second-level detection magic circle was arranged.

It also integrates practical magic circles such as sound insulation and magic interference.

Even scouts who mastered low-level stealth couldn't approach here quietly.

If you have money and access, you can manage it neatly.

Chen Xuan took the first seat, and Ophelia took out a cash box without asking.

This is the remaining income of the White Rose Caravan in the past three Naroya days after deducting expenses.

Purchasing, bribes, hiring of guards, caravan talent and supplies all cost a lot of crowns.

But there is still a surplus of more than 20 crowns in the cash box.

Chen Xuan didn't move the cash box, but raised his hand and pushed it back.

He saw the space storage bracelet on Ophelia's hand.

"Keep it, I still have money with me."

"The plan for the next few days remains unchanged. Try to collect space storage jewelry, high-level magic scrolls, elemental beads, and various practical magic props."

The storage tank of mercury he gave before can still be sold for a long time. Currently, the daily shipment of magic tears is 400-500 pieces, which is maintained at a fairly stable level.

There is no need to increase shipments in a short time.

In Magtan City, many things cannot be bought with money.

Ophelia put away the cash box and nodded respectfully.

"By the way, master, you want the contract bead!"

As she spoke, she took out a storage bag.

It contains twelve black iron-level treaty beads and three silver-level treaty beads.

This is the essential material for Chen Xuan to sign a contract with Blue Star.

After her master put away the covenant beads, Ophelia reported the news she had inquired in the alchemy workshop not long ago.

After patiently listening to her narration, Chen Xuan suddenly felt that all the clues in his heart became clearer.

He looked at Ophelia, and asked back like a replay.

"In other words, your father bought a large amount of deadly poison and magic boiling potion?"

"And your stepmother bought a lot of psychedelic and stimulant drugs?"

"Yes Master…"

Ophelia's tone was a bit depressed when she answered.

Neither of them spoke any more, and after a moment of silence, Chen Xuan spoke slowly.

"I think that your biological mother's death may also have something to do with your father."

As soon as these words came out, Ophelia's head dropped even lower.

"I also found a clue."

"The Colchicum Merchant Group owns a secret dark gold mine."

Chen Xuan didn't pause any longer, and spoke out his discovery in one go.

Hearing the words "Dark Gold Mine", Ophelia, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly froze.

She seemed to have figured something out, and the expression on her face was very complicated, both shocking and sad.

"You mean...?"

Chen Xuan understood what she meant and didn't point it out, just nodded slightly.

Then added.

"The force responsible for the cooperative distribution of that dark gold mine is the red-haired Walton family!"

"Your stepmother is an outsider in the distribution of benefits, so she is trying her best to get in."

"Since Howard's death, she and your father have torn up the tacit camouflage that has been tacit for so many years."

"It doesn't take long, there will be a battle!"

"As for your mother, the truth cannot be determined for the time being."

"But according to the known information, her death may be the result of the joint action of your father and stepmother."

"This matter may have to be investigated from before and after the discovery of the dark gold mine."

These words of Chen Xuan are no less than a blockbuster.

Ophelia froze in place, then shook her head and sighed in a daze.

"No...impossible, father loves me so much..."

"He loves his mother so much..."

"Even my name has the word 'Sharon' in it."

Chen Xuan shook his head slowly, but did not refute.

In fact, he really wanted to say to Ophelia:
"Love and killing do not conflict."

Ansetus is a shrewd fellow, there's no doubting that.

He is also a mature and successful businessman.

For businessmen, when huge benefits appear, appropriate sacrifices and compromises are also acceptable.

Ophelia's childhood memories don't tell much.

Whether or not Ansetus had anything to do with Sharon's death, he was Ophelia's father.

As for Ursula's marriage to him, it was more like a compromise and a disguise.

However, there are still many clues missing, and Chen Xuan does not want to make a conclusion.

Ophelia is a smart girl, and she'll recover from emotional breakdowns in no time.

I have already told her the direction, how to check is not what Chen Xuan should care about.

In the next stage, wait until Ursula and Ansetus are torn apart.

After giving Ophelia a few minutes to calm down, he took out the [Magic Source] from the storage compartment.

The erratic [Magic Source] appeared in front of the table.

Successfully aroused the curiosity of the half-elf lady.

She can vaguely sense the pure magic power surging in [Magic Source], which is somewhat similar to a demon seed but not the same.

"Master... this is?"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said in a clear voice.

"Reach out and touch it."

There's not much to explain, and no need to explain, which is a huge bonus.

Ophelia nervously followed his instructions and raised her hand to slowly touch [Magic Source].

The moment her palm came into contact with [Magic Source], she froze in place.

His whole body trembled suddenly, as if he had been electrified.

That [Magic Source] turned into pitch-black pure magic power, and was absorbed by her in the blink of an eye!

After being integrated into the body, it quickly transformed into her own magic essence.

"Ugh..."

The feeling of rapid promotion made her moan.

The tempering changes of the body are also carried out in a crash-style manner.

It was different from Chen Xuan's breakthrough that took three or four water clock hours to complete.

Ophelia's same process took less than 5 minutes!
The violent reaction made her faint without accident, and the sweat from her body was like soaking rainwater.

Chen Xuan prepared food and water bags in advance, put her head in front of him, and quietly waited for her to wake up.

Her body was unbearably hot, and she smelled of spring lilies.

Hot and seductive.

After being in a coma for about 10 minutes, Ophelia woke up slowly.

"Master, I have reached the silver level!"

Chen Xuan smiled, encouraged Mosu a little, and replied softly.

"Me too."

……

Ophelia, who got the opportunity to advance to the rank of super speed, let go of the sadness in her heart a little bit.

Chen Xuan didn't discuss those heavy topics with her any more, but just explained a few things about the caravan operation and procurement, and left the caravan station before dawn.

Back in the small courtyard he rented, he didn't go anywhere.

Clutching the walkie-talkie silently, he watched with great interest the two sisters Dora practicing swords after waking up.

When it was daylight, his walkie-talkie finally rang.

"Cough cough..."

"Master...Master~!"

From it came the voice of the dwarven blacksmith Jason Ironforge.

"Tell me, what's the situation near the blue sage in the North District?"

Yes, someone Chen didn't actually go to Blue Sage Backyard for an appointment.

He just commissioned Jason Ironforge to watch nearby.

This guy has a lot of blacksmith apprentices under him, and he can act as a passer-by scout if he finds a few.

Blue Sage is a big hostel in the North District, with a lot of traffic around it.

After he spoke, Jason Ironforge replied hastily.

"The Garrison!"

"According to my apprentices, the streets around Blue Sage are filled with garrisons in disguise."

"My little ghosts recognized some of the captains."

"Anyone who enters the backyard of blue sage will be quickly contained."

Chen Xuan looked calm, and all these situations were within his expectations.

The appearance of the garrison, combined with Ursula's frequent visits to the first circle, it is not difficult to guess that the red-haired stepmother is definitely someone in the city, and she is also a high-level influential person.

"Your apprentice didn't leave a tell, did he?"

To be on the safe side, Chen Xuan asked one more question.

"Of course not, don't worry!"

"Little smart ghosts often go to the North District to buy auxiliary forging materials."

"And it's not surprising that people from the Blacksmith Association appear everywhere in the city. There are 79 small blacksmith shops in this city, all of which are cultivated by the association!"

Jason Ironfurnace said quite confidently.

Chen Xuan also knew it well.

"Okay, I understand."

"If someone investigates, you should know what to do."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Jason Ironfurnace said broadly.

Chen was very relieved about this, and ended the conversation after a few words of advice.

　The theory of density is currently the most reliable way to explain extraordinary physical strength.

　　Search [Protein Materials] and extended concepts before spreading malicious words.

　　And actually using a fishing rod as a metaphor, whose fishing rod is made of protein materials?
　　As a typical example, spider silk is a typical representative of protein materials.

　　Its strength is completely out of proportion to its own weight and size.

　　At present, many researches on nanomaterials are trying to imitate the protein structure of spider silk with carbon structure.

　　For protein materials in reality, a slight structural change can bring about a geometric multiple increase in strength.

　　Even a change in any one polypeptide chain can cause dramatic changes.

　　The corresponding weight gain ratio is not measured in terms of plastic or metal.

　　Of course, there are blood, organs, fat and bones in the body, so don't really treat the extraordinary as metal.

　　The biological materials in many sci-fi settings are mostly protein materials, and the existing technology is just getting started in this area.

　　But the potential of protein is well recognized.

　　In addition to the properties of the protein, it is not the first time that the tempering effect brought by the magic element has been mentioned. If you have to compare it with a big man with blue star piles of ordinary chicken, then what is the difference between this extraordinary and medicine for fitness?
